status and financial performance of their company. This is because the shareholders are the real
owners of the company but the company is governed and administered by directors. As directors

act as stewards of shareholders, it is their duty to prepare financial statements that are free from
material misstatements as well as also possess some qualitative characteristics which are
important to enhance their quality and relevance. Following are the main qualitative
characteristics of financial statements:
Understandability
Relevance
Reliability
Comparability
Timeliness
a) Understandability
The financial statements are published to address the shareholders of the company. So it is
important that these statements must be prepared in such a way that is easy to understand and
interpret for the shareholders. The information provided in these statements must be clear and
legible. For the sake of understandability, the management must consider not only the statutory
data and information but also the voluntary information disclosures which would make financial
statements easier to understand. The directors must elaborate the information provided in the
statements where necessary.Requires financial information to be understandable or
comprehensible."
b) Relevance
The information provided in the financial statements must be relevant to the needs of its users.
Although the main statutory recipients of these statements are ‘shareholders’, but there are many
other stakeholders that rely on these statements during their decision making process.For
example Fund Providing Institutions such as (Banks, Insurance Companies, Assets Funding
Firms), potential investors (for making investments in prospective companies), suppliers (for the
assessment of credit rating).So the information provided in these financial statements must be
relevant to the ‘information needs’ of all these stakeholders, which able to affect their economic

extracted to prepare these financial statements must be from reliable and trustworthy sources.
The financial statements must depict the true and fair picture of the status of the company affairs.

misstatements. The transactions shown in the statement must be based on the concepts of
prudence and must represent the true nature of company’s transactions and operations. The areas
that are judgmental and subjective in nature must be presented with due care and keen
competence."

financial statements. This characteristic of financial statements is very important to maintain, as
it makes sure that the performance of the company could be monitored and compared. This
characteristic is maintained by adopting accounting policies and standards that are applied are
consistent from period to period and between different jurisdictions. This enables the users of the
financial statements to identify and plot trends and patterns in the data provided, which makes
their decision making easier and faster. Comparable information enables comparisons within the
entity and across the entities."

delayed information makes any corrective reactions irrelevant.This means providing information
to decision makers in time to be capable of influencing their decision."
